This pagoda bed in a Chinoiserie bedroom by Miles Redd is sensational. Truly sensational.

What strikes me most about this room is the arrangement of this majestic bed against a small-ish wall. I think most would aim to put this bed against a large expanse of wall due to its proportions. But I think this placement adds to its richness and scale. That's a trick I like to use in our house - putting large pieces in smaller spaces...it adds to the drama.

I also love this room because it's by Miles Redd. Do you have a designer who you feel has the midas touch? Just about everything they do is fantastic in your book? I have a short list, and MR is certainly on it.
